The NACS Question — Tesla vs Non-Tesla Connectors
Tesla vehicles use the NACS (North American Charging Standard) connector. Most non-Tesla EVs use the J1772 connector. As of 2025 and 2026, Ford, GM, Honda, and Rivian are transitioning new models to NACS. Rivian R1T and R1S trucks currently use J1772 for Level 2 home charging — confirm your model year at the estimate visit. If you drive a current non-Tesla EV, a J1772 Level 2 charger is the right choice today. If you are buying a new non-Tesla EV in 2026, confirm the connector type before purchasing a charger unit. We advise on this at the estimate visit at no charge.
Panel Capacity — What If My Panel Needs an Upgrade?
A Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240V, 50-amp circuit. If your panel is at capacity or does not have room for a new 50-amp breaker, a panel upgrade may be needed before installation. We assess your panel as part of every estimate visit at no additional charge. If an upgrade is needed, we quote the full scope — panel upgrade and EV charger installation combined. Your panel may need an upgrade first.
Federal Tax Credit — Claim Up to $1,000
A permitted Level 2 home EV charger installation qualifies for the federal Section 30C tax credit — 30 percent of cost up to $1,000. We provide the itemized receipt you need to claim it on IRS Form 8911. Installation must be in the tax year you are claiming. Claim the Section 30C tax credit on your installation
Frequently Asked Questions
If you do not see your questions listed. please call us. We will then add your question to this FAQ list.
Where is the best location to install a home EV charger in Bozeman?
The most cost-effective location is inside the garage on the wall nearest your electrical panel. The shorter the wiring run from panel to charger, the lower the cost. Outdoor installations on an exterior wall or in a detached garage are also common — outdoor units require a NEMA 4-rated enclosure for Montana winters.
How long does home EV charger installation take in Bozeman?
Most standard home installations take 2 to 4 hours for the electrical work. If a panel upgrade is needed, plan for a full day. Total time from booking to completed, inspected installation is typically 5 to 10 business days.
What Level 2 charger brands do you recommend for Bozeman homeowners?
For most Bozeman homeowners we recommend the Grizzl-E Classic or Emporia Level 2 — both are NEMA 4-rated for Montana outdoor conditions and cold-weather rated. For Tesla drivers, the Tesla Wall Connector is the right choice. We can supply the unit or install one you have already purchased.
Does a home EV charger increase my home’s value in Bozeman?
Yes. A permitted, hardwired Level 2 EV charger is a documented home improvement on the building permit record and adds to the property’s value for future buyers. With EV adoption rising in Gallatin Valley, a home charging setup is an increasingly expected feature in the Bozeman $500K+ home market.
What is the NACS connector and do I need it for my non-Tesla EV?
NACS (North American Charging Standard) was originally the Tesla connector. As of 2025 and 2026, Ford, GM, Honda, and Rivian are transitioning new models to NACS. Rivian R1T and R1S trucks currently use J1772 for Level 2 home charging — confirm your model year at the estimate visit. If you drive a current non-Tesla EV, a J1772 Level 2 charger is right for today. If you are buying a new non-Tesla EV in 2026, confirm the connector type before purchasing a charger unit. We advise on this during the estimate visit.
